 The Guild\n2828 35th St, Sacramento, CA\n\n\nRoll Out Cowboy\n Chris 
 “Sandman” Sand is a rappin’ cowboy from Dunn Center, North Dakota 
 (population: 120 and shrinking). He drives a semi, plays the guitar and 
 raps. He looks like Woody Guthrie but sings like no one else. "Roll Out, 
 Cowboy" follows the 39-year-old country/hip-hop musician as he tours the 
 American West during the 2008 Presidential election. Small town America 
 isn’t as conservative as we think. \n\nHis tour bus is broken, he bought 
 his house for a thousand bucks, and the small farming town in which he 
 lives is disappearing faster with each passing year. "Roll Out, Cowboy’s" 
 Chris Sand is the face of the dying American West. Except for one thing: He 
 raps. \n\nThe Woody Guthrie protégé looks like a cowboy, talks like a 
 cowboy, but writes songs like Dr. Dre. When hip hop music hit the airwaves 
 of the North Dakota badlands, where Sand grew up, he learned to rap and 
 rhyme to the pulse of baling machines and irrigation pumps. The result? A 
 music fusion in the raw—country/hip hop/folk/rap/cowboy. Whatever you 
 call it, it’s unique, fresh, sexy, and distinctly western. \n\n"Roll Out, 
 Cowboy" follows Sandman the rappin’ cowboy as he embarks on a national 
 tour during the 2008 U.S. Presidential election. He travels from red state 
 to blue and back again; blending discordant music genres into a style 
 uniquely his own. Through him we see a part of America that remains immune 
 to marketing campaigns, record labels, and consumerist politicking; as if 
 it were the truth. We witness band break-ups, small town groupies—even a 
 brief flirtation with commercial truck-driving, when a particularly 
 impoverished Sand needs to make ends meet. \n\nThis is not the 
 romanticized, Roy Rogers version of the American frontier. This is Sandman. 
 The cowboy who raps. \n\nDirector Elizabeth Lawrence and Producer Warner 
 Boutin are scheduled to be in attendance. \n\n
